Sustainability

Made responsibly, from field to fabric.

Five pillars of responsible manufacturing.

Sustainability at Indies isn't a marketing line — it's a scorecard we report against every year.

Organic Cotton

GOTS-certified organic cotton grown without synthetic pesticides and traced from farm to garment.

Recycled Polyester

Post-consumer PET spun into performance yarn — reducing landfill and virgin oil use.

Solar Energy

Rooftop solar arrays powering a growing share of our production floor.

Waste-Water Treatment

Zero-liquid-discharge dyeing plant with closed-loop water recycling.

Ethical Manufacturing

BSCI and SEDEX audited factories, transparent wages, safe working conditions.

Certifications

Independently audited.

Where relevant, awarded. Where not yet, being pursued.

How a collection is made

Four stages, one accountable supply chain.

Every Indies programme follows the same route from first brief to loaded container — managed by a UK account team and produced on Indies-owned floors in India.
